The Rant: Unless it's for the BCS crown, bowls don't matter

Off the top of your head, can you tell me who won the Fiesta Bowl last year?

If you can, bravo. Now for the follow-up: How many national championships was that worth again?

If you answered “not even a little bit,” congratulations on filtering out the noise that is bowl game selections. I get that fans and players like them, but there’s no need to get worked up over which game you’re in. There’s only one game worth anything being played, and Alabama is facing Notre Dame in it.
